I've tidied this page up as it was looking very unorganised and messy. Each section only needs a 'working' and 'problematic' sub-section. The SD card section had a 'works but...', that isn't really needed. The card either works or it has a problem, there is no in-between. There are going to be a lot of cases of unbranded peripherals, so it may also be an idea to start using notes on all items pointing to their pages on somewhere like Amazon, who is likely to continue to stock the items for a longer time than the likes of, say eBuyer or eBay. --Rmwebs 20:14, 20 April 2012 (UTC)

I say this as it took me a while to work out that my card was causing problems - I'd just put it down to the speed of the Pi that I'd not used before. A lot of other people may be in the same boat...

USB Devices working OK without Hub, but being naughty when plugged into a Hub

I recently added the detail of my flashy Asda keyboard onto the page, I noted underneath that this device doesn't work well when plugged into the hub I have - Newlink 4-USB.

Do you think it might be a good idea to have a section where combinations of devices seem to affect each other?

D-Link DUB-H4 powering RPi

I have the new black D-Link DUB-H4 (P/N: EUBH4EB......CE). This one is not capable of powering the RPi in the "high power port". It is only working if you use a Y cable between the "high power port" and a regular port.

USB Webcams

What would be the simplest way to check, whether a webcam is working? I have an HP HD-4110 camera, and am trying to make it to work. I am running debian wheezy, upgraded to the latest F/W, etc. Camera is recognized (dmesg and /dev/video0 is there), but cannot make it to work. I am trying to use "motion -n"; however, errors are reported with respect to VIDIOC_DQBUF and VIDIOC_QBUF, and /dev/video0 is no more (after trying motion). I tried to install Cheese, but apt-get refuses to install it (I tried to recurse needed files, but at the end failed as well).

Possibly, either a link to a relevant place, or a short description what to do to make a quick test for a more troublesome devices would help? On the forum, people are trying different distributions to get webcams working, but mostly they report problems.
